Confidential Resources
Confidentiality is a fundamental principle of victim services and one protected by federal law. When victims of violence are assured of confidentiality, they are more likely to seek the support services they need, to take steps to secure their safety, and to retain control over the process and their own healing.

- A majority of sexual assaults are committed by someone known to the victim and a majority happen in familiar settings.
- 1 in 5 college women are sexually assaulted.
- 1 in 6 men are sexually assaulted in their lifetime
- 1 in 8 lesbian women and nearly half of bisexual women experience rape in their lifetime.
- 64% of transgender people have experienced sexual assault in their lifetime.
- No means no regardless of how it is expressed, and yes means yes. Silence does not mean consent. (Source )
- Survivors can receive support services no matter how long ago the sexual assault/ abuse occurred.
- There is hope for healing from sexual trauma. Sexual violence can have psychological, emotional, and physical effects on a survivor’s wellness as well as academic success. Getting help is the first step to recovery.
- Survivors are often blamed or feel ashamed about their assault. Sexual assault is not the victim’s fault.
